SANTA CRUZ >> Standing in front of a string of dozens of colored flags bearing the names of those who died homeless locally in 2014, Jeanne Underwood nearly broke into tears Thursday morning.Underwood, who described herself as chronically homeless to group of more than 100 people gathered for the 16th Annual Homeless Memorial at the Homeless Services Center, said she, too, could have become a name on the wall, after her failed suicide in February.
